Spooky Camera is using an antique camera as a storytelling device. \u00a0The camera is a haunted camera that traps people inside of it after their pictures are taken. \u00a0Whenever the participants pulls the knob on the camera, the shutter opens and a projection of those who are trapped is revealed and their stories and experiences may be heard.<\/p>\n

Nobody really knows where this camera came from but legend has it that a witch casted a spell on the camera so that it would predict the future of those whose pictures it took. \u00a0However, if the camera predicted that if those being photographed were going to inflict harm or destroy the lives of others, it trapped them inside to protect all of humanity. \u00a0Those trapped in the camera are not guilty of anything, but they will be. \u00a0They are completely unaware of their predictions and why this is happening to them.<\/p>\n

A couple of stories from the camera:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI was playing with my sister in the attic and we found this box with some knobs on it. \u00a0We didn\u2019t know what it was and my sister started fiddling with the buttons. \u00a0We soon realized it was a camera. \u00a0After the first shot, all I heard was screaming, and everything turned black. \u00a0I could feel the room shaking and saw her eye peering at me through a big hole in the room\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI was with my family at the carnival when a fortune teller told me that there was a camera that would predict my future. \u00a0I asked her how it worked and she said that she when she takes a picture of me photo would show me in my future. \u00a0I was curious and decided I had nothing to lose, but then she took the first shot of me, then I realized I was no longer at the carnival and was trapped in a box. \u00a0I\u2019ve been her for some time. \u00a0She stole my future. \u00a0Help me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each person trapped in the camera experienced it at different times and different places. \u00a0Each person experiences different things within the camera but in the end, they all want help escaping. The user of the camera cannot help them escape, rather they can only listen to their stories.
